SF Pro font
SF Pro is a neo-grotesque sans serif first issued by Apple in 2014. Apple licenses it only to registered Apple developers, for mock-ups of interfaces for software on Apple’s operating systems. FontKind hasn’t measured it, so the free fonts below stand beside it by their own description and by class, not by measurement.

Not measured against SF Pro: FontKind has no licensed copy of it. “By description” means the free font’s own description names SF Pro or its model; “by class”, that Google Fonts gives it the same class. Every one is free for commercial use.

Questions about SF Pro
Is SF Pro free?
Not to use anywhere you like: Apple licenses it only to registered Apple developers, for mock-ups of interfaces for software on Apple’s operating systems. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who made SF Pro?
SF Pro was first issued by Apple in 2014.
Can I use SF Pro in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, only after you install a licensed copy: neither Windows nor Microsoft 365 comes with SF Pro. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and SF Pro isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Inter, Roboto and IBM Plex Sans are there, under More fonts. Canva publishes no list of its fonts: search its font menu, or, with Canva Pro, upload a font whose licence allows it.
What is the closest free alternative to SF Pro?
FontKind hasn’t measured SF Pro: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. Inter, Roboto and IBM Plex Sans are neo-grotesque sans serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to SF Pro.
